Found it! Kinda.

Mentioned as part of Hive Trazior’s background.

Hive Trazior is infamous for the Brat gangs of its up-hive spires, who take a cruel delight in engaging in gang warfare with the ‘commoners’ of the underhive. They are well known for their brightly painted, and incredibly rare, jetbikes, which they race through the throughfares and transit tubes, inflicting mischief and mayhem wherever they pass.[5]

Struggling to sauce them being posited in place of Spyrers though.

Jetbikes are so 'incredibly rare' that random Eschers got them..!

Spoiler:

So yes indeed, Gerontius Helmawr back in charge, Aranthus still alive and plotting a comeback, no named characters die.

Given that the Escher "jet bikes" are more or less literally a turbine engine with control surfaces, I'm not sure they are quite in the same technology/wealth class as proper grav-bikes.
That said, the Van Saar got hoverboards, so....

Also, rare is not the same as "important" or "useful" though its often synonymous with "expensive" which can fool people into thinking it is the other two. See: Juicero.

I'll take my 500 quatloos now.

Although, I will give them points for actually finishing the story line, instead of just letting it trail off into oblivion as they usually do.

**lord_blackfang**

I for one would have greatly preferred Bratz to Spyrers, even before the weird amputee fetish.

**Johanxp**

Supppement is until stock lasts...

**twoseventwo**

Well that's weird, and my first reaction would be that somebody probably clicked the wrong checkbox on the backend of the online shop.

Maybe there'll be a compiled 'complete Aranthian Succession campaign book' next year or something.

More likely to start on the sequel. All this suspicious upheaval seems like a good excuse to get inquisitor gangs down there too.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Having read the final book?

Help or hinder Kal Jericho smuggle a stasis casket to safety in this bonus Spire of Primus scenario

The Aranthian Succession: Spire of Primus has just landed on doorsteps and arrived on shelves in stores around the world, bringing this chapter of Necromunda to a close with a bang. Those of you with a high intelligence stat may have noticed the back of the book mentions nine scenarios, while there are only eight within its pages.

It’s a printing error, but it wouldn’t be right to say there are more scenarios than there are, so the Warhammer Studio have provided a mission to us – and you can download it for free now.

Necromundan proof reading is going as strong as ever then...

**Fayric**

Its always fun when someone proclaim a printing error. Its not like the printers edit the text or numbers they get.

**Overread**

Still not as bad as several print runs of A Darkness at Sethanon which had a blurb which was entirely and utterly wrong on almost all the details save the character names.

It's a throwback to when printers actually made up printing blocks from movable letters, when they could (and did) conceivably alter stuff, mostly by forgetting/omitting letters, or ocassionally by using a wrong one.

The Unwilling Warlord by Lawrence Watt-Evans, the paperback edition had a cover picture from an entirely different book.

**Mr_Rose**

The MTO terrain is up for order now, in case anyone forgot.

**lord_blackfang**

Oof the price hike is pretty intense, most of these were roughly 10-12 GBP per sprue when they were new, now it seems to start at 20 and goes up the smaller the kit is.

**twoseventwo**

Ooof. That is an awful lot to go onto a pile of shame simply because I have plans for them eventually.

Next they invite you to dinner and have you buy the food and cook the meal.

More like they invite you, serve you up after butchering you for the main course, then making you pay for the service, drinks, and tips.
